How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[goingonhope]

It's late. Not sleeping yet. No nightmares when I sleep. Only nightmare is being awake while too aware of what's going on in this world. :eek:

Not interested in it anymore. Made me sick :sick: when I was a kid. Still makes me sick to this day. :tdown: The big world bites!

My small world and other small worlds, O.k. :tup:

I had about 3 hours of sleep, meds are making me too drowsy when I get up in the morning, so I didn't take a dose last night.....now I regret it. *(am very groggy, but still unable to sleep).

However, there is lots and lots of :coffee::coffee::coffee: with my name on it this morning.;)

Tossed and turned until midnight. Got up and made a mug of warm milk (Just zap it in the micro for a minute.) and then I slept until 6.

I'm blessedly sleeping but waking to searing pain :cry:...can't wait to go back to sleep.

Not sleeping good, but it will change again soon. It always does.

waking to searing pain :cry:...can't wait to go back to sleep.

That's been happening to me too. Is it normal?

I stayed up late talking to my supporter. I fell asleep within an hour, but woke up several times in the middle of the night and at six before my alarm went off. I have been having constant nightmares since I was 14. I never even knew that they were a part of my abuse until I was diagnosed with PTSD last month. Does anyone have any tips for sleeping through the night or dealing with nightmares?

I slept better last night. However sharing a bottle of wine every night with H, although it is nice and relaxing, is not the answer.

I have had two nightmares in a row recently, which is new for me. The first had to do with getting in a horrible bus crash. A lot of people died, and i was scraped up. Ran for help but nobody was in the city i was in.

The other one had nothing to do with my trauma but was weird. I really hate tarantulas. Dreamt about tarantulas. I REALLY hate cock-roaches. Dreamt about cockroachs AND tarantulas. At one point, they started fighting, and the cockroach grew, opened up its chest cavity and completely engulfed the tarantula. What is going on here?

I do agree. Been there, done that. However, KP, we do the best we can!! Everything runs it's course and the wine every night will pass because you know it isn't the answer. (((hug))) You are on the right track!!

I woke up 4 or 5 times, but had a nice nap in the afternoon.

That's interesting. It sounds like two of your fears are fighting it out, and the bigger fear triumphed over the little one.
